2-Decarboxy-2-alkylcarbonyl-3,7-inter-m-phenylene-3-oxa-4,5,6-trinor-PGA or PGB compounds

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides a novel prostaglandin analogs wherein the C-2 carboxyl is replaced by alkylcarbonyl, i.e., a C-2 ketone. These novel 2-decarboxy-2-alkylcarbonyl-PG-type compounds are disclosed as improved gastrointestinal cytoprotective agents, being devoid or substantially devoid of other prostaglandin-type effects (e.g., smooth muscle or cardiovascular).

The present application is a divisional application of Ser. No. 888,695, filed Mar. 21, 1978, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,463.

The present invention relates to prostaglandin analogs, for which the essential material constituting disclosure therefor is incorporated by reference here from U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,463.
